The game av Manawa yestorday was not exactly what coula ve called interesting from a professional point of view, but judging from the nmount of noise that was wade by the audience, there was moro real interest felt in the game than in any that has’ oeen played in this vicinity for u long tune. The grand stand was well tilled with spectators, and every good play was met with appliuse, while bad plays, which could have b 1l picked out by the dozen by anyone who wis inclined to stickle for the technical points of the national wame, were prected with de Tisive, though kood' natured jeers. The members of the bar from Papiliion arrived about noon accompanied by quite a number of their friends who came along to seo that their friends had fair play, The visitors were not compelled to mako afidavits that they were all practising lawyers, as was suguested, and therefore some doubts i were exproised as to whether some of them, who wero apparently still iu their teens, were regularly prictising attorneys. But { o they were old enough to play a pre tair } guine of ball, anyway, und nobody cared any further. 3 ‘Tne names of the players in both clubs wero as heretofore published, with tho ex- coption of the Bluffs catcher, Travis taking tho placo of Emil Schurz. Good work was done on the whole by the battery, Grove and Allen for Papillion and Travis and Askwith for Council Biuffs, The main feature of the game was Askwith's slide to first buse, } Duving the first half of the game the Blufts i boys keot uhead of thoir rivals, but after the sixth inning the tables were turned, and the Papililonites took tho lead. The last i e, however, came very near evening things up, and at the close the score stood 17 to 18 i favor of Pupillion. The gamo was awarded to Papillion by Umpire . W. Neul, and a fine supper was served in the dining room of tho hotel Manawa, at the expeuse of the Blufites.

A Typesetter's Story of News That Boat the Telegraph. “In the summer of 1881, said a com- positor in the Cleveland World, ST was tting running a paper ina little backwoods town in Pennsylvania. The paper was not so metropolitian in its make-up but that I was able to do all the work nfyself with tho exception of the printing. Publication days I called in the service of half- witted fellow, who, under my instruc- tion, had developed into an expert roll- er. I was the only man within a radius of twenty miles who knew how to set paper T was type, and if I had fallen sick the would not have come out until well again, Naturaily [am not u s stitious man, but an ‘incident oc while I had charge of that paper I cannot explain, and until it is ex plained, I shall believe that anything is hossible in the way of ghosts,” spooks, iths, ete. 1t was the morning of June 10. T had locked up my forms the night be- fore so that I could begin printing carly in the morning. 1 was pulling the old lever at 7 o'clock, and at 9 the local list was in the postoffice. Soon after the de- livery had begun one of the merchants of the hamlet—a very intimate friend— came into_the offico. ““[ow did you come to hear of the death of your brother so soon?’ said he. (There was no telegraph station within fifteen miles.) +*What do you mean?’ said I “iMean?’ said he. ‘You ought to kuow what is in your own paper. Have you forgotten that you heard this morn- ing your brother is dead? Have you forgotten that you set up a notice of it an hour or two ago “SAre you crazy? said I ‘I swear that 1 do not know what you are drivieg at.’ t this juncture he opened the damp sheet that 1 had so recently printed and folded, and pointed e to the following item at the bottom of the third column of the local page s *John Jones, broth Jones was killed at Peos o'clock this morning.’ My breath was fairly taken aw from “me. The merchunt was vight. There was the notice of my brother’s death in my own paper, and 1 had not set it up nor heard of it. “\You are right,’ said T; ‘but this is of William ia, 1L, at 5 Ly the first that I have known of it. If thero ever was a mystery this is it.” “[went over to the ‘form.” There was the three line item. The moment I saw the type I was more amuzed than ever. It was the typesetting of my brother, who like me, had been bred to the printer’s trade. I could tell his work from that of a thousand. He wus a marvellously even spacer, and he ca vied his taste so far that he alwuys put less spice after a comma, “But how were the Qm into the locked form No item had been taken out, Iexum ined the form closely.

They Can No Loager Reb' Olaimants of the Government, THE BEE'S GREAT BUREAU OF CLAIMS. It Befriends Sett Patentees, Widows, Orphans Soldiers and is Commended by the Highest Authority, LY Men who have had claims against the gov erameat and employed professional agents to vepresent them before the departments in Washington, tell strange stories of tricks and raseality to which they were subjected at the hanas of these merciless cre Thero are of course, some honest men among those agents; but there are so many that are notorlously corrupt, that it is almost im- possibic for a claimant, s he be direct- od by a woll-nformed individual, to find one in whom he can place implicit confldence Tur Bee has received hundreds of com- plaints from soldiers and others who had advanced money when o desired and who waited for years and yet failed to reccive any information as rogards what tho sharks had done with either mouey or claim. Tie Beg has also been requosted to rocom- mend reliable agents and has, in this way served to protect the people from fraud and robbery. But that did no good to the people who had fallen into the hands of sharks. As rapidly ns the latter were shown up, new onos with new tricks and rascality took their plac "Phere was but one means left and that was to establish a great bureau of cl This idea was suggested to a numoer of people but was put into practice first by the San Fran- cisco Examiner. With the Examiner, Tie Bre has co-opera- tedi u the great work of affording relief to worthy elaimants, The Washington correspondent of the Bx wminer, Mr. Joln Wedderburn, who has also cted as privato secretary to Senator Hearst, was detailed to organize and take charge of the bure His loug service i Washington in both these eapacities had given him a large acquaintance with government officials and government methods.

Congress was ot less anxious to protect claimants from rob The sume kind of complaiuts nad come to Tie: B and gone to the members of congress as well. The com- mittees that had the Indian depredations bill under cousideration investigated the opera- tions of the claim agents and attorneys in connoction with the Tndian depredations cluims. They found that the claim agents had demanded 5315 to 50 pevcent from the men holding the claims, and in hundreds of cases held ¢ racts at these figures. While the bitl was still fu congress, with little ap- parent chance of passage, they were able, by metbods dangerously ucar the line of false pretenses, to induce the claimants to sign the exorbitant demands. sere appearcd to be only one way to pro- tectthe cluimants. That was to cancel all contracts by law and limit the fees that at- torneys might collect. The claimauts would thus be enabled to choose another agent if the one they nad first engaged had attempted to defraud them, and the coutracts could not demond more than the specified rate. The ninth scetion of tho bill was thus drawn to annul “‘all sales, transfers or us- signments of claims' and *'all contracts here te.” The maximum fee to be al- put at 15 per eent of the mmount collected except in case of claims under 560 or where unusual work had to bedone, when 20 per cent might be allowed. “The amount of busiuess received imme. diately after the opening of the buroau is a proof of the confidence in which the peopie hold it and of the distrust which the ordi- nary claim agent has aroused. In the six weeks, from April 1 to May 15, claims to the amounit of $4,005.341.6515 were filed with the bureau on account of Indian_depredation claimsalone. All these go to the court of claims under the act and are in various stages of preparation and prosecution. Be- sides the claims unaer the Indian depreda- tion act there had been filed at that date treasury claims to the amount of 3233,604; neh spoilation claims to che wmount of land claims, $250,330; and patent and other cluims to u large amount, Sincoe that date some $2,000,000 of claims have been filed with the bureau, and it is now attending over£5,000,000 of claims, ‘The need for the burean may well be seen by the fact thatit now has on hand more claims than all of the claim attorneys Washington combinea. The efforts of cougress and the establish- ment of the bureau was not appreciated by the claim agents. They wanted to continue 1o thrive in their business of fleecing theo needy cluimant. They accordingly denounced the government uud the bureau. They held that the former couldnot eancel the contracts they had made with their victims, But tho caucellation was made in the interest and namo of the people. And it need not be doubted that the eminent constitutional law- years who framed the act i question did not do so without knowing what they w doing. The threats of the sharks undoubtedly had an effect upon some men who desired to make new contracts and secure the services of some other attoruey, but this effeet will soon be destroyed and the emaucipation of the claimant from the tyranny of the shurk will be complete. The amount of money that will be saved to the people by this work of Tie Bek Brieat or Cratms,may not be caleulated. It will cor- tawly bo very great.
